Don’t argue with me. Summer is here!!!
Even if it officially starts on the solstice, June, July, and August are the summer months.
We are living in a weird world right now, and it is easy for each day to become a repeat of the one before it. Don’t let your summer slip away in an unending rut. Have some fun!
The easiest way to do this is to make a summer (sand)bucket list. It should not have any chores on it. (I’m sure you have lots of those sort of lists.) Instead, write a list of fun things you can do by yourself and with your family.
I found a fun list online that gave me a starting point. Some of them are difficult to do this summer, but most of them can be done at home for almost no money.
My favorite idea is #99: “Make a memory jar of all the awesome things you did this summer.” If you decorate a physical jar, you’ll plan something fun so you can fill it. (There is nothing sadder than an empty memory jar.) This is just what we need to make this summer a blast and not a blah.
Go ahead and make your own list or borrow from a website. Even if you only have ten items on your list, it gives you something to look forward too. We’ve all earned some fun.
